We drill tunnels through mountains and drive Ferraris through them.

You never hear about anyone regrowing missing limbs or coming back from the dead. Seems like neither of those prayers have ever been answered.

Jesus was speaking in metaphor, OP.

When he says that specific quote, he is exasperated with his lovely disciples because their Faith Level is so low they couldn't even cast out a minor demon:

The Actual Bible posted:

“When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. ‘Lord, have mercy on my son,’ he said. ‘He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.’ ‘You unbelieving and perverse generation,’ Jesus replied, ‘how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.’ Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, ‘Why couldn’t we drive it out?’ He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’”

It isn't the broadly applied quote people use it for. It wasn't part of the big sermons on how life works. In context, it refers quite specifically to demon banishing. If they had any faith, they'd be able to just tell the demon to leave and it would. Really, Jesus is making fun of the disciples for being so weak in faith-magic.

The Bible provides metaphorical limbs. Just as the man's hand reaps the wheat, can the Lord's Word not reap souls?

No way it's all. Jesus would be easy (the guy is just barely hanging on there as it is), but some of the other ones would be very, very hard.

The official depiction of Kali has her standing on a dude and holding another dude's severed head.

Hey jesus, if you're reading this: SUCK MY DICK YOU gently caress MAN!!

Faith, and shoving his balls in his own rear end in a top hat (I've seen him do it) is what keeps the goat man (our true lord and savior) from making GBS threads himself every day.

Well that's really weird actually. Jesus's disciples had faith Jesus could heal the child and Jesus shamed them for not just healing the child themselves?

An interesting phrase from some Christians is that faith can move mountains.

But does that mean the perfect God put some mountains in the wrong place?

Also which mountains have moved? Nobody has any faith?

It's not in the wrong place when its purpose was to be moved through His powers.

You heard of tectonic shift right? That's not some egghead poo poo it's fueled by G*d's will and the faith of the righteous. Really, instead of poking holes in things you should readjust your heretical mindset and pray on it.

I remember some preacher talking about this verse and explaining that the reason nobody is actually moving mountains is because if you had enough faith to move the mountain, you'd also have the wisdom to realize it would probably be a really bad idea.



I can remember thinking, even back then as a kid, "Nice cop-out".
